USPS Virus

Hey guys, just a heads up, this virus is going around again. It comes across as a mail or parcel delivery service email advising you that your package could not be delivered or shipped, or missed delivery, and prompts you to download the attachment to claim it at the nearest office, or follow a link to see where to go to get your pack. DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK OR DOWNLOAD THE ATTACHMENT. Only follow the USPS's main website to track your package. My mother just had this thing hit her computer at work and it did a number... Just a heads up for anyone who doesnt keep up with the latest goings on.

    Good looking out man. The USPS will always leave a note in your mailbox saying the package is too big and where to pick it up. They do NOT do emails to let people know of this. Like you mentioned some people are unaware of this and take all emails seriously. Nice job Krieger.
